Constitutional CodeCh. VIII. Prime Minister
§. IV. Term of service

IV. Evil in From the change of hands no evil it in any shape none: In none.

Vain would be the appointment of preponderant evil in any shape
from this source: vain the apprehension for example that from by the transference
of the business from the hand one hand to another, from the hand of the
individual first choice to the hand of his successor any interruption to the course.

Of the proposed temporary non-reeligibility the
natural consequence will naturally be as follows. By § 1: the Prime
Minister is not only authorized but bound to keep located at
least one Prime Minister Depute: This individual thus
located will of course be of the number of those who in his
opinion are with relation to his own interest at any rate
possessed of the highest degree of appropriate aptitude in all
its branches. Being as per §. responsible for the conduct of
this his Depute, it will he will by the strongest tie of personal interest
be found to choose the aptest person whose acceptance can

be engaged. In the fixing upon Stronger in his situation than
in the situation of member of the Legislator in whom belongs the election
of this superior functionary is the interest by which he will
stand engaged to locate the most compleatly apt individual
he can find he will accordingly be on the lookout for such
individual
as whether by partial opportunities personally possessed
or by general reputation have been stand recommended to his choice.
Suppose his first choice not a happy one, he can without any
eclat, betake himself to : and so on with
whom he is in all points satisfied has been found.

Whatever advantage in this shape has this been produced in the case of the
Prime Minister first elected, will be obtained in this situation: and it will be repeated and with increase
in the case of as many different individuals or by
extension given to the effect of the non-reeligibility clause can
afterwards to be of necessity successively elected.

In this By the respect, great is the advantage possessed by highly advantageous is the footing situation of the individual
as compared with that of the Legislature. During the appointed term
of service, say during the year scarcely would by any deficiency
in respect either of of appropriate intellectual or appropriate active aptitude
would the Legislature be induced to take so strong a step as that
perform so harsh an operation as that of positive dislocation: by no
They let those same flagrant and exemplifications and proof of inaptitude
in the shape opposite to appropriate moral attitude could the energy
necessary to such an operation if by anything be produced; if performed in the tacit and
negative way, strong the
opposing obstacle would
be there already has
occasion to bring to view: and
how much stronger it would be
in the case of the positive operation,
and that performed out of regular time, let any one imagine.
